History of Crescent Ballroom
Originally a 1950s automotive garage, Crescent Ballroom was transformed in 2011 by local entrepreneur Charlie Levy, known for cultivating Phoenix’s independent music scene. With a capacity of about 550 guests, it quickly became a favorite destination for both rising indie stars and nationally touring acts.
The venue has helped revitalize downtown Phoenix, drawing crowds not only for concerts but also for community events, local food, and a laid-back desert vibe. Click here to read about the Orpheum Theatre Phoenix, Phoenix, Arizona
